BEAR Buoy: Analyses of Acquired Temperature Data.

Abstract

This study examines the temporal variation in temperature at several levels from near surface to below the thermocline - a depth of approximately 1900 m. The time series were collected over a 51 day period from 16 February through 6 April 1976 from an area approximately 40 Km northeast of the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas. The study also includes an examination of the temporal and depth changes in the density and Brunt-Vaisala frequency over the period of the record. These changes are discussed in terms of observed changes in the level of activity of the internal tides. (Author)
